Speculation: I don’t think Apple will be able to fix the keyboard in this generation of MacBooks (generation meaning body type). It’s all about clearances, key travel, tolerances. The system doesn’t have room for a drop in replacement that could leave room for debris. That’s why they gave it a 4 year extension — because that’s probably when we’ll see a newer body generation with redesigned keyboard.
